CC Salon is a casual get-together focused on conversation and networking with 2-3 brief presentations from individuals and groups developing projects with relationship to <a href="http://www.creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons</a>. Please invite your friends, colleagues, and anyone you know who might be interested in drinks and discussion. We look forward to seeing you there!

The dynamic line-up for May 10 includes <a href="http://egofood.blogspot.com/">Chris DiBona</a>, the <a href="http://code.google.com/">Open Source Programs Manager for Google</a>, discussing Google, Creative Commons, and the <a href="http://code.google.com/soc">Google Summer of Code</a>, of which Creative Commons is a <a href="http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Summer_of_Code_2006">mentoring organization</a> (applications due May 8).

<a href="http://goldberg.berkeley.edu/">Ken Goldberg</a> (Artist and <a href="http://berkeley.edu/">UC Berkeley</a> Professor) and <a href="http://www.tiffanyshlain.com/">Tiffany Shlain</a> (founder of the <a href="http://www.webbyawards.com/">Webby Awards</a>) are presenting their film, <a href="http://tribethefilm.com/">The Tribe</a>, an award-winning film screened at the 2006 <a href="http://festival.sundance.org/2006/">Sundance</a> and <a href="http://www.tribecafilmfestival.org/">Tribeca Film Festivals</a> about the unorthodox, unauthorized history of the Jewish people and the Barbie doll...in about 15 minutes." Ken also is showing a short video of his project "Ballet Mori: a ballet conducted by the Earth" that commemorates the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. In this improvisational performance, "SF Ballet Principal Dancer Muriel Maffre responded to a musical composition modulated live by the unpredictable fluctuations of the Earth's movement as measured in real-time by a UC Berkeley seismometer at the Hayward Fault."

Also, Abram Stern and Michael Dale from <a href="http://ucsc.edu/">UC Santa Cruz</a> are presenting <a href="http://metavid.ucsc.edu">Metavid</a>, a system for the collective remediation of public government proceedings. Metavid uses Free and Open Source Software to capture public domain footage along with closed captioning to make the archive searchable.

Filling in the gaps throughout the CC Salon is Quarterbar, spinning a CC-licensed electronic mix.
